New Perspectives Frank Witter Member of the Board of Management Exane BNP Paribas and Barclays Geneva Motor Show Conference, Geneva, 1 March 2016 Disclaimer Volkswagen Group – New Perspectives Frank Witter Member of the Board of Management Exane BNP Paribas and Barclays Geneva Motor Show Conference, Geneva, 1 March 2016 Disclaimer The following presentations contain forward-looking statements and information on the business development of the Volkswagen Group. These statements may be spoken or written and can be recognized by terms such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “will” or words with similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions relating to the development of the economies of individual countries, and in particular of the automotive industry, which we have made on the basis of the information available to us and which we consider to be realistic at the time of going to press. The estimates given involve a degree of risk, and the actual developments may differ from those forecast. Consequently, any unexpected fall in demand or economic stagnation in our key sales markets, such as in Western Europe (and especially Germany) or in the USA, Brazil or China, will have a corresponding impact on the development of our business. The same applies in the event of a significant shift in current exchange rates relative to the US dollar, sterling, yen, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi and Czech koruna. If any of these or other risks occur, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, the actual results may significantly differ from those expressed or implied by such statements. We do not update forward-looking statements retrospectively. Such statements are valid on the date of publication and can be superceded. This information does not constitute an offer to exchange or sell or an offer to exchange or buy any securities. 2 How the NOx issue will be solved Europe (approved by KBA) USA EA189 2.0 l (EU5): ~ 5.2m units EA189 2.0 l EA189 2.0 l EA288 2.0 l • Software fix only (Gen 1): (Gen 2): (Gen 3): • Working time ca 30 min. ~ 0.4m units ~ 0.1m units ~ 0.1m units • Fix started in Q1 2016 EA189 1.6 l (EU5): ~ 3m units • Soft- and Hardware fix required • Working time < 1h • Fix starts in Q3 2016 EA189 1.2 l (EU5): ~ 0.3m units Currently coordinating viable solution • Software fix only concepts and time lines with the responsible • Working time ca 30 min. authorities EPA and CARB • Fix starts in Q2 2016 3 Our 5 top priorities Helping our customers In progress Communicating & providing effective technical solutions Uncovering what happened Report based on Jones Day investigation Finding out the truth and learning from it second half of April New structure In progress Launching a more entrepreneurial & decentralized Group structure New mindset In progress Profoundly changing the way we do things New destination Strategy 2025 Re-evaluating what we do & re-defining our targets (Mid-2016) 4 Publications of 2015 figures and AGM delayed due to remaining open questions and resulting valuation calculations relating to diesel issue Event Previous Date Status Statement regarding result 2015 Annual press Delayed March 10, 2016 conference Delayed Annual General Meeting April 21, 2016 “Before special items Volkswagen anticipates the Operating Result for the Group at the level of the Jones Day report on prior year” background and Sticking responsibilities Second half of April 2016 to timing connected to Diesel ✔ issue 5 Volkswagen Group reduces level of capex and resets priorities Investments in property, plant and equipment Prioritization and focus on digitalization and e-mobility Prior planning as of November 2014 New planning as of November 2015 Uncertainty requires Cancellation or delay of all €64.3 bn prioritization of projects that are not investments absolutely necessary ~€13 bn max €12 bn Not jeopardizing our future: Focus on new products, spending on digitalization continuing rollout and and alternative drive train enhancement of toolkits, technologies will be completion of ongoing increased further capacity expansion 2015 - 2019 Ø per year 2016 6 Development World Car Market vs. Volkswagen Group Car Deliveries to Customers1) (Growth y-o-y in deliveries to customers, January to December 2015 vs. 2014) bf World: Market: 2.6% Volkswagen Group: -1.8% Market VW Group Market VW Group Market VW Group Cars + LCV 9.0% 6,1% 4,3% 5,1% -7,7% -23.3% North America Western Europe Central & Eastern Europe Market VW Group Market VW Group Market VW Group 4.0% 2.5% 2,6% -3,0% -21,2% -29,0% South America Rest of World Asia Pacific 1) Figures excl.

Copyright © 2017, Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation Version: 2017-04-25 We have totally screwed up. Michael Horn, chief executive offer, Volkswagen USA2 The trust-shattering exposure of the Volkswagen Group (VW) emission scandal on September 18, 2015, left Matthias Müller, VW’s newly appointed chief executive officer (CEO), with a daunting management challenge—reputation recovery. Müller’s task was to draw the German multinational automotive manufacturing company out of the abyss of one of the worst reputation crises it had faced since its inception in 1937. The matter came to the fore when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) slapped a legal notice on VW for violation of the Clean Air Act.3 The EPA accused VW of manipulating nitrogen oxide emissions tests to ensure its EA 189 diesel engines, built during fiscal years 2009–2015, met EPA standards.
